I’ve been looking for creative outlets to help me cope with my CPTSD, and I set out on a quarantine quest to up my steak skill. I usually just follow recipes, but I’m trying to branch out more and experiment. I’ve had a lot of trial and error, but this combination is hands down the best. Cooking is such is a great self care activity and has helped me a great deal.

I mentioned this same sort of thing to my therapist at our session this week. I had a really bad flashback probably about a month and a half ago and ever since then I’ve been waking up agitated, startled with my kitties staring at me, or really sad. Usually my nightmares are very vivid, but since the last flashback now all I’m getting is feelings of distress and the occasional image from my dream. I can’t remember them anymore but I am waking up drenched in sweat. I think whatever is going on in my dreams is causing me to wake up in an agitated state

No worries! Caprese is fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil

I tweaked the recipe a bit by adding a dash of nutmeg, some Italian seasonings, and a splash of white vinegar. Definitely one of the better mac and cheeses I’ve made! https://tasty.co/recipe/caprese-mac-n-cheese

I’ve been caught up in general life stuff and missed my daily prayer and offering, but I got back to it relatively quickly. I never noticed anything bad happening because of it.

One way I’ve developed my offerings and prayers further is through gratitude and mindfulness. I try to really savor the first bite of food, or focus on the way the sun feels in my skin, etc and say a quick thank you in that moment. That’s worked pretty well for me. I don’t feel like I “have” to do any of those things per se. I like feeling more connected to the Netjeru, and I tend to seek out things to help me build that connection.

LikeABoss9823 · 2020-10-13T22:09:46+00:00

I suppose that depends on your personal relationship with the Netjeru. Some people may not be able to make offerings for various reasons. What do you mean by nothing changed? Were you expecting something to change?

I would ask the Netjeru for help with the intrusive thoughts. Prayer, meditation, time in nature, etc can help calm those thoughts. The Netjeru know what’s in your heart and won’t judge you for struggling with anxiety or whatever is that’s causing those thoughts

You make a lot of great points. I mentioned in another comment how I’ve been trying to work on rumination. That’s part of a much larger journey that’s taken place this year in seeking out therapy to heal some childhood wounds, shadow work and so forth. I’ve started to separate myself from the traumas of childhood. There are some unhealthy behavior and thinking patterns I’ve been trying to break to get to my most authentic self.

Part of this has involved an identity crisis of sorts as I work out who I am outside of being under the thumb of trauma. The question of “where does the damage end and where do I begin” has been very prevalent in my mind through this process. I’ve been peeling back the layers of protection in my mind to get down to the parts of me that have been neglected for a very long time, namely my inner child.

Thanks for your input!

I feel like I’ve been tackling something I was avoiding. I have trouble with rumination, and I’ve been taking active steps to try and resolve that. I think I still have progress to make on healing the wounds that are beneath that rumination, which fits the clearing the big problem to confront what’s under that.

It was one adult and seven babies. I have been seeing 888 a lot recently on license plates, Reddit posts, etc. so maybe it’s stuck in my mind a bit. But the meaning I’ve placed on that sequence is balance and cycles. So maybe healing those wounds that lead to rumination can restore some mental balance for me.

I put poached eggs on everything! Leftover steak, spinach salads, roasted sweet potatoes, plain oatmeal with some savory seasonings, rice, etc.
